Oribatellidae Jacot, 1925 



Figure 360 



Diagnosis: This family also be- 

 longs with the Pterogasterina. The 

 pteromorphs do not extend an- 

 teriorly past the opisthosoma. The 

 lamellae are attached only by their 

 rear margin to the propodosoma 

 and as a rule they are large, cov- 

 ering a considerable part of the 

 propodosoma. Many species are 

 striking in appearance.
